Hydrogeology Bundle: Part 2 Groundwater Recharge Rate Estimation using 1D Unsaturated Numerical Model
Understanding groundwater recharge is essential for the successful management of water resources and modeling fluid and contaminant transport within the subsurface. Hydrogeologists, water-resource specialists, civil and agricultural engineers, earth and environmental scientists will benefit from this self paced online course.
After this course you are going to be able to set up monitoring network for soil moisture and potential and to model rainfall infiltration and its movement in deeper part of vadose zone where eventually it will become groundwater recharge - so you are going to be able to precisely determine groundwater recharge rate.
Course Topics:
What is soil texture and how to determine it quickly
In depth explanation of soil water content and soil water potential
Devices to measure volumetric water content and soil water potential
Instalation and maintaince of devices measuring volumetric water content and soil water potential
How to determine soil water retention curve - basis for getting unsaturated hydraulic parameters for numerical model
Getting unsaturated hydarulic parameters from soil retention curve
How to set up 1D numerical simulation of soil water movement including ol hydrological water balance elements
Groundwater recharge rate determination
Who should attend?
This course is ideally suited for hydrogeologists, environmental engineers and climate change experts who are diving into the use of groundwater numerical models to make informed decisions about water balance of the region and contaminant movement from ground surface to aquifers.
Prerequisite:
B.Sc in hydrogeology, geology, environmental engineering, agriculture, civil engineering
Time Commitment:
Average 2 - 3 hours per week to finish each Module. We encourage you to spend time with the course each week. Your focused attention will pay off in the end!
If anything seems unclear or you just have a question, then please let me know - I will get back to you as soon as possible, usually less then 24 hours. After each lecture you have place to ask questions. Again, thank you for joining me on this course.Price: 360 USD

Hydrogeology Bundle: Part 3 Seawater Intrusion Modeling – How to Set up, Run and Visualize with SEAWAT Numerical Model
Due to rapid urban development, climate change, intense agriculture and other factors shallow unconfined aquifers in a lot of coastal regions have become highly vulnerable to contamination from sea water intrusions.
The SEAWAT program is designed to simulate variable-density ground-water flow and solute transport in three dimensions. The underlying concept of SEAWAT is to combine an existing flow code (MODFLOW) with an existing solute-transport code (MT3DMS) to form a single program that solves the coupled flow and solute-transport equations.
One benefit of the SEAWAT approach is that improved and updated versions of the flow and transport codes can be incorporated into the SEAWAT program to take advantage of recent improvements. Another benefit is that users familiar with the constant-density versions of the flow and transport codes can easily apply the SEAWAT program to variable-density ground-water problems.
Course topics:
Set up 3D conceptual model in MODFLOW with 11 layers
Assign both MODFLOW and SEAWAT boundaries (for seawater intrusion model)
Properly set up different parameters in SEAWAT
Run the transient SEAWAT seawater intrusion model
Visualize results in 3D
Learn which groundwater sampling method works the best in coastal zones influenced by seawater intrusion?
Learn what are typical groundwater discharge rates in coastal zones around The World - compare it with your model to validate it.
Analyzing local and regional SEAWAT model for water resources management - case study from USGS (United States Geological Survey)
Who should attend?
This course is ideally suited for hydrogeologists, environmental engineers and climate change experts as an additional skill to make informed decisions in coastal zones.
Prerequisite:
B.Sc in hydrogeology, geology, environmental engineering, civil engineering.
Time Commitment:
Average 2 - 3 hours per week to finish course. We encourage you to spend time with the course each week. Your focused attention will pay off in the end!

16-19 Dec 2019 – Neuchatel, Switzerland
Efficient groundwater modeling using MODFLOW and Python
Continuing education in groundwater modeling. During the last ten years, the US Geological Survey and several teams wordlwide have contributed to make the groundwater modeling software MODFLOW environment evolve in an extremely rich manner. New packages were developed. New ways to integrate MODFLOW in complex workflows using Python allow to answer questions that were extremely tedious to solve previously. These tools are changing the way that consultant and researchers can now perform groundwater modeling.
Price: 1500 CHF
